Synopsis

Against landscapes that the artist and his father traversed, audio of the father speaking in the Ho-Chunk language is transcribed using the International Phonetic Alphabet. The transcription tapers off, narrowing the distance between recorder and recordings, new and traditional, memory and song.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
